Cheeses

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The concubine marriage is a form of marriage in the early Middle Ages ; the medieval word " Kebse " means " concubine ". A conciliatory marriage was concluded between a free man, for example a landlord , and an unfree ( serf ) woman. Since the free man had full power of disposal over his serfs, he could force unfree women who were in his possession into concession at any time. It was more a marriage-like relationship than a recognized marriage. Several kebes could exist side by side. Children from Kebsehen, so-called Kegel ( kekel , compare child and Kegel ), were not entitled to inheritance; as children of serfs, they were serfs themselves regardless of their father's position. By the 9th century, kebbies were very widespread; especially in the 10th century the Catholic Church took very vehement action against Kebs relations.

In addition to the Kebsehe, there was also the Muntehe , the Friedelehe (existence disputed) and the Robbery or Kidnapping marriage in the Middle Ages .
